Over by the highway a few kilometers from Tomaz Vige, Faron and Levy had been waiting for two hours.


    Just as the two of them were about to nod off, there was a knock on the door. Both men turned and saw Wilbur with a grubby-looking old woman on her back.


    "Is this... Is this Madam Tomaz, whom you mentioned on the phone?"


    Faron and Levy hurried over to help the olddy onto the car at once.


    "That''s right. Let''s go back to Seke Ind to discuss the next step of our n. I''m afraid it might not be all that easy to strip the Seechertown medical industry of all its evilpletely."


    "Okay. Let''s talk about it when we get home, then."


    Wilbur exchanged a few more words with Faron and Levy and drove the car off into the city.


    Meanwhile, within Tomaz Vige, upon making sure that Wilbur was gone, Darren immediately reported the assault and interrogation to his superiors.


    Darren was doing this because he knew that Wilbur might not be a threat to his life, but his superiors would be sure to get rid of him if they knew that they had been betrayed.


    Since that was the case, Darren decided to ce his bets both ways. If either side won, Darren would be able to stay alive!


    Over in Seechertown, in the Leith manor, Tim Leith, the head of the Leith family, was in the middle of looking at the family''s industrial ie chart when his phone rang.


    The calm expression on his face was reced with nothing but murderous intent by the time the call had ended.


    "Frank! Tell Master Nine that our family''s run into some trouble that we''d like him to settle. If he refuses to do it, ask him if he can get in touch with the people from that group. We''ll pay to hire them!"


    The old man brewing a pot of tea next to Tim straightened up at once. "Don''t worry, Mister Leith! I''ll go to see Master Nine this very second!"


    Over the hill behind Leith Manor was a natural cave. There was a clear stream in front of it, and lush greenery all around.


    A narrow path wove all through the greenery all the way to the cave entrance, making for a breathtaking view.


    Frank Fowler, the head butler of the Leith manor, had woven through the trees to make his way up to the cave. "Mister Leith had ordered me to invite you to help the family out with some trouble, Mister Leith!"


    No one appeared in response, but a voice rang through the air. "I''ve washed my hands clean of family''s affairs! You can ask for this person instead..."


    A gold coin flew out of the cave as the voice spoke,nding at Frank''s feet. "Thank you, Master Nine!"


    Frank returned to the manor after getting what he needed, setting the ancient- looking gold coin down in front of Tim.


    "Sir, Master Nine still refused to show up. However, he did give me this Ghost Head Coin. How much are you willing to pay?"


    Tim stared at the Ghost Head Coin on the table in silence, before saying, "I want the Andika incident to bepletely settled for a maximum of one billion dors, with nothing toe out of it. If this goes out to the public and the shares of our medicalpany drop, it''s going to cost a lot more than a billion dors!"


    A billion dors?


    Even Frank could tell that the entire situation was ringly ominous.
